In 'The Boys' Season 4, Episode 7, the shapeshifter introduced was only referred to as 'The Woman', with no name revealed.

Fans speculate she might be similar to Malchemical from 'The Boys' comics, but her transformation abilities differ significantly from Malchemical's.

The true identity remains uncertain, leaving viewers awaiting more clues in 'The Boys' Season 4, Episode 8.
